Doing the math it seems this event is geared to really push people to spend gems. SO FAR (and I recognize things could be different with subsequent days) there is almost no opportunity to earn tickets and the only way to earn guild points at a significant rate is to spend gems or cash on buying the 4x reward option and the extra courage. To get a guild to 875K points which, lets face it, is the goal (that rune and a big chunk of tickets to use to buy Solaris tokens or corrupted hearts to make more incineration or guardian runes is the real reward) means each player has to average to 17,500 points. This means, assuming the pay offs for each dungeon is similar (which it might not be given they should be harder), you need to spend a lot of gems. With the 4x reward you get 660 points from each run, for 2000 gems you can do that 20 times (if you have enough courage which you probably don't, so spend 1000 gems to get 50 more courage twice). So it seems like for 4000 gems you can get about 13200 guild points today. Add $16 and you can get another 6600. If everyone in the guild does that you can have the base rune containing reward for the guild. Double that base amount to get the top award which adds another 7000 tickets or the price of a single corrupted heart.

It just seems like too much for a single event. I hope there is significantly more payoff tomorrow. I would really like to see a hard working but fairly frugal guild be able to hit the base rune containing reward.

P.S. I think my math is right but apologize if I made an error.

I can no longer decide from day to day what to think of this game.... and that is frustrating

Our guild unlocked the second dungeon as well as a chest that was full of tickets, so my question is does the whole guild get the tickets or does the guild mate in first place get them? It'd be nice if the whole team received them since it is a team effort to unlock. If we all get them they are not showing them.

@Joel The event shop runes... are these supposed to be guaranteed max stat runes (like PvP runes), or is there RNG in the upgrade? Asking because the PvP superiors - and other craftable superiors - max at 607 for the primary atk stat. Depending on which rune you buy in the event shop, we're seeing more like 550 - 584 for atk.

Just trying to figure out if this is intended or not, as it could play into purchase decisions.

this event is kind of a flop
dungeon scaling is way off, the first dungeon is overly difficult.
you need a very active guild to get anywhere with points/ unlocks, so players in casual guilds as myself will see rewards passed by. (that superior rune )
the 20 stamina flier dungeon only gives repeatable bauble and torchy tokens, and only 1 ferno token, far too expensive for stamina vs. reward.

People who think the dungeon is too difficult need to realize that the event is supposed to be hard. We have enough events with participation rewards, which is essentially every event minus guild games (90%+ of players can reach max rewards). There is literally no advantage to being in a top guild otherwise.

This event is the most disgusting money grab ever! I'm done with this game..all the gems and real money you gota spend and our reward is tickets and a rune? Wow you guys greedy as hell...I loved this game til now no way I'm sinking the kinda money it takes to play this just for tickets and a rune...biggest money grab event ever!

Spending all these gems cause you made the dungeons hard as hell for level 70...some people can't sink that type of money into the game and then they look bad to the guild cause they can't participate enough...greed will destroy this game

1. Winterfest was a bigger cash grab because of the mysteriousness of the gold keys and how many would be needed to max grog. At the time, he was supposed to be limited and nobody was sure when his tokens would be available again. People dumped hundreds for all gold keys to max him before the end of the event. This event is no where close because you know exactly what you are buying and how that will affect your final rewards.
2. If this event was a cash grab, they would not make the boosts available via gems.
3. If you are in a good guild, you can reach the 1.75M points for max rewards without spending much for boosts. The weekend quests are not out yet, so I cannot say the exact calculations. We will know at the end of the event.

I am I am in a good guild bro too 32....and we all have decided to stop playing...sinking gems into this for what a reward of tickets and possibly one rune? Hahaha all 50 guild members see this as a cash grab sorry if you blind and oh yeah gems cost money bro
